The invention relates to a piece of degradable food packaging paper and a preparation method of the degradable food packaging paper; the preparation method of the degradable food packaging paper comprises the following steps of preparing konjak sol, preparing slurry, padding, degassing membrane-making and drying, waxing and airing. The preparation method provided in the invention takes konjac glucomannan as main raw material; soy isolate protein and carrageenan are added as accessories; glycerol is used as a plasticizer; without being bleached, the added slurry does not contain carcinogens, such as dioxin, organohalogen compounds and the like; the fiber slurry is porous and has a thick wall, so as to improve air permeability and strength of products effectively; the degradable food packaging paper prepared by the processes, such as sol dissolving, mixing, swelling and smearing edible paraffin wax and the like has the characteristics of safety, no toxicity, environment-friendliness, etc., simultaneously, the mechanical strength is distinctly improved; various added raw materials are in food grade, so that osmosis phenomenon which may happen cannot pollute food; and the degradable food packaging paper can be used as internal package paper for food, such as ice cream, cake, fry, etc.
