It is intended to provide a process for producing a highly safe seasoning by highly decomposing meat or a bone residue remaining after taking meat (in particular, chicken meat, chicken bone or culled chicken) with enzymes. It is also intended to utilize nitrogen at an elevated ratio compared with the existing low nitrogen utilization level. In decomposing protein in chicken meat, culled chicken or chicken bone, muscular protein alone is decomposed by using an autolyzing enzyme or an autolyzing enzyme with an enzymatic agent containing peptidase. In the case of using chicken meat as the raw material, it contains trace constituents of meat (taurin, anserine, carnosine, creatine, etc.) and the content of Hyp (oxyproline) is controlled to 0.5% by mass or less to the protein. In the case of using culled chicken or chicken bone as the raw material, it contains trace constituents of meat (taurin, anserine, carnosine, creatine, etc.) and the content of Hyp (oxyproline) is controlled to 1.0% by mass or less to the protein.
