Quoting%20commentary for Makhshirin 1:1

כָּל מַשְׁקֶה שֶׁתְּחִלָּתוֹ לְרָצוֹן אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין סוֹפוֹ לְרָצוֹן, אוֹ שֶׁסּוֹפוֹ לְרָצוֹן אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין תְּחִלָּתוֹ לְרָצוֹן, הֲרֵי זֶה בְכִי יֻתַּן. מַשְׁקִין טְמֵאִים מְטַמְּאִין לְרָצוֹן וְשֶׁלֹּא לְרָצוֹן:

Any liquid which is desirable at the start achieves <i>BeKhi Yutan</i> [a state where liquid put upon food makes it susceptible to impurity] even if it is not desirable at the end; similarly [<i>BeKhi Yutan</i> is achieved if the liquid] is desirable at the end even if it is not desirable at the start. Impure liquids transfer impurity [whether their presence] is desirable or is not desirable.
