  • Patent number: 5902615
    Abstract: The invention relates to a new nutritional 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 and reducing substances in an amount which gives a value of less than or equal to 0.9% in the BERTRAND method. A process for producing a nutritional composition is also disclosed, wherein the process requires maize steepwater to be subjected to a treatment with the aid of protease and phytase enzymes in the presence of lactic acid bacteria. Furthermore, the enzymatic treatment is performed on a steepwater whose dry matter content is between 5 and 25%, and Ph between 3 and 5, at a temperature varying between 40 and 50.degree. C. and for 4 to 16 hours.
