Determination of the best formula by organoleptic test in 3 age groups, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Testing of nutritional content in the form of proximate, calcium, amino acids, isoflavones, phytate), and fatty acids. Based on the best formula organoleptic test results produced chocolate soy beverage composition consisting of 4.25% moisture content, the ash content of 2.44%, 40.71% protein, 13.9% fat, carbohydrates 37.88%, crude fiber 0.84 %, calcium 0.44%, phytic acid 0.35%, total flavonoids 0.22%, catechins 0.12%.
