Disclosed is a biodegradable composition characterized by compounding yeast (A) and biodegradable plastic (B) at a particular proportion. The purpose is to provide a biodegradable composition having very good biodegradability and additional fertilizer effect, making good use of the characteristics of yeast.

Biodegradable composition and method of producing the same

A process for preparing a coated printing paper by applying a coating solution containing a pigment and an adhesive to a base paper, which comprises coating the base paper with the coating solution containing 30 to 90% by weight, based on 100% by weight of pigment components, of rice grain- or spindle-shaped precipitated calcium carbonate as a pigment component, the precipitated calcium carbonate being produced by slaking calcium oxide with a white liquor, followed by causticization with a green liquor, at a causticizing step during pulp production by the sulfate process or the soda process; whereby the coated printing paper free from uneven gloss, mottling, and trapping unevenness, and excellent in ink drying properties and operability with a blade coater is provided.
