Related for Terumot 4:5

הַמַּרְבֶּה בִּתְרוּמָה, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אֶחָד מֵעֲשָׂרָה, כִּתְרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר, יָתֵר מִכָּאן, יַעֲשֶׂנָּה תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר לְמָקוֹם אַחֵר. רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל אוֹמֵר, מֶחֱצָה חֻלִּין וּמֶחֱצָה תְּרוּמָה. רַבִּי טַרְפוֹן וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמְרִים, עַד שֶׁיְּשַׁיֵּר שָׁם חֻלִּין:

One who gives more Terumah: Rabbi Eliezer says: [he may give up to] one out of ten, as in the case of Terumat Ma'aser [a portion of the tithes that is given to the priest]. [If he gave] more than this, he must make [the extra into] Terumat Ma'aser for other produce. Rabbi Yishmael says: [he may give up until the mixture is] half Chulin [non-sacred produce] and half Terumah. Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Akiva say: [he may give] as long as there remains [enough to carry] the name of Chulin.

Tosefta Terumot

The measurement of terumah: Beit Shammai say, one with a good eye (i.e., a generous person) gives one in thirty, the average person gives one in forty, and the wicked person gives one in fifty. Beit Hillel say, one with a good eye gives one in forty, the average person gives one in fifty, and the wicked person gives one in sixty. (See Ter. 4:3.) Rabbi Yishmael says, [he may separate] half chullin (unconsecrated produce) and half terumah (Ter. 4:5) as long as the chullin is of greater quantity than the terumah [!].
