Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of starch processing, and in particular relates to slowly digestible starch (SDS) and a preparation method and use thereof. The SDS includes a starch granule and a non-starch polysaccharide coating coated on a surface of the starch granule. In the present disclosure, the non-starch polysaccharide coating coated on the surface of the starch granule can prevent an amylase from contacting the starch granule, increasing contents of the SDS and resistant starch (RS) in the SDS. Therefore, the SDS can delay a digestion process, increase a digestion time of the starch, and reduce the increase of blood glucose and insulin levels after the starch is digested and absorbed.

Directions and/or relative phases of the individual beamlets of the excitation beam at a rear pupil of the lens are individually varied with a wavefront modulating element, and emission light emitted from the focal spot is detected while the directions or relative phases of individual beamlets are varied. The directions of individual beamlets are controlled to either maximize or minimize the emission light from the focal spot, and the relative phases of individual beamlets are controlled to increase the emission light from the focal spot.
