Machshirin 1:5-6

Machshirin 1:5

If a person rubbed a leek (to remove water) or wrung out his hair with his clothes, Rabbi Yosi says that ki yutan applies to the water that comes out and it doesn’t apply to the water that remains in. This is because he wanted all the water to come out (that which remains in being useless to him).

Machshirin 1:6

If a person blows on lentils to check their quality (by moistening them), Rabbi Shimon says that ki yutan doesn’t apply but the Sages say that it does. If one eats sesame seeds with his finger (i.e., by licking it to pick up a seed), Rabbi Shimon says ki yutan doesn’t apply to the moisture in his hand but the Sages say that it does. If a person hides his fruit from thieves in water, ki yutan doesn’t apply. The people of Jerusalem once hid their dried figs from Sicari raiders in water and the Sages ruled them insusceptible to ritual impurity. If one put his fruit on a flowing river to transport them, ki yutan doesn’t apply.
