The invention relates to a new nutrient composition resulting from maize steeping. This composition comprises an inorganic phosphorous concentration to total phosphorus concentration ratio (Pi/Pt) of between 35 and 95%. The composition also comprises proteins in an amount which gives a value of less than or equal to 5 according to a C test. A process for producing a nutrient composition is also disclosed; wherein the process requires maize steepwater to be subjected to an enzymatic treatment with the aid of protease and phytase enzymes. Furthermore, the enzymatic treatment is performed on a steepwater whose dry matter content is between 5 and 50%, and pH between 3 and 5, at a temperature varying between 40.degree. and 60.degree. C. and for 4 to 16 hours.
