Reference for Tevul Yom 4:1

אֹכֶל מַעֲשֵׂר שֶׁהֻכְשַׁר בְּמַשְׁקֶה, וְנָגַע בּוֹ טְבוּל יוֹם אוֹ יָדַיִם מְסֹאָבוֹת, מַפְרִישִׁין מִמֶּנּוּ תְרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר בְּטָהֳרָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא שְׁלִישִׁי, וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁי טָהוֹר לְחֻלִּין:

Regarding food taken as the [first] tithe, which was primed for impurity by a liquid, if it was then touched by a tevul yom [one who has immersed that day in a mikvah, but who must wait until nightfall to become fully pure, and is of a second degree impurity until then] or by one with soiled [i.e. impure] hands, terumat ma'aser [a tenth of the tithe given to a Levi which must, in turn , be given to a kohen and which becomes holy upon separation, and can only be consumed by kohanim or their household] may be separated from it in purity, because it is of a third degree [level of impurity], and something of a third degree is pure with regard to chullin [produce or food that is not sanctified, and is permitted for general consumption].
