In chocolate, the primary emulsifier used is soy lecithin. However, lecithin a major allergen to some people and also considered expensive as it imported. this study, three different genotypes of okra pectin were extracted replace in chocolate production an emulsifier. The samples combined ratios formulations. new formulations evaluated by means proximate analysis relative preference mapping (RPM). Results showed that there no significant differences between moisture content (1.85-2.25 %) ash (2.54-2.82%) for all (p > 0.05). slight among regarding fat (30.34-30.99%) sugar (22.12-31.61%) contents. RPM results indicated product F8, F9, F10, F13, F14 F16 be similar control liked much control. All these products contain ratio Balabi their formulation except F10. Product F8 which was most had contents lower than study none containing single variety found area interest suggesting combining varieties gives better result compared using from genotype.
