A mathematical description of the potentials of mass-transfer of hygroscopic materials is possible on the basis of analytical expressions describing sorption and desorption isotherms. Because of the complex nature of the interaction of colloidal capillary-porous materials with moisture, determined by the action other than sorption forces (physical sorption, absorption, chemisorption), capillary condensation forces and osmotic forces, which for different materials are specific and quantitatively different, to date There is no single universal dependence for the analytical description of isotherms of sorption and desorption. Accordingly, there is a wide variety of analytical expressions for the description of isotherms of sorption and desorption. There are many different methods of analytical description of the sorption properties of colloidal capillary-porous materials. All known methods can be divided into two groups: the first should include analytical expressions derived theoretically on the basis of various hypotheses and assumptions, while the second - purely empirical based on the expansion or change in the forms of models of the first group. A large number of equations of equilibrium isotherms are mathematically equivalent. Thus, the method of determining the transport potential based on position allows us to take as a basis for calculation the experimental data on the hygroscopic properties of certain materials and to use the phenomenological approach for the engineering calculation of complex technical devices

The ways of improving the work of food enterprises during processing of agricultural raw materials on the basis of a system analysis of the durations of technological operations are considered. The basic mathematical models of technological processes have been analyzed and the possibility of using unified technological operations to predict the time of completion of work has been shown for processing various pairs of raw materials. It is established that the construction of mathematical models of technological processes of processing of agricultural raw materials should be based on using the potential of transfer of the target component between isopotential surfaces. This allows not only to unify the created models of technological processes, but also to significantly increase their extrapolating ability to estimate the durations of technological operations
