The article is devoted to the analysis of pectin diffusion extraction in the extraction process from plant raw materials in a solid-liquid system. The molecular diffusion process from the inside of the extractable substance particles to their outer surface is considered as the limiting stage. The aim of this work is to study the possibility of creating an efficient production of pectin from agricultural products by carrying out a more complete extraction using a period of mass isolation in the extraction process. As it is generally recognized all over the world, the rational use of natural resources is the dominant trend in the development of the economy, which assumes the fullest use of vegetable raw materials consumed by humans in the processing. To implement such approaches, a mathematical model of the discrete diffusion process in porous diffusionally isotropic particles has been developed. A conclusion is made about the effect of mass isolation on the extraction rate for a regular mode, while the regularities of the process remain unchanged.
