Commentary for Menachot 46:3

Neither can it be that of R'Judah, for according to R'Judah in any mixture of like kinds neutralization does not take effect! - In fact he follows the opinion of R'Judah, for R'Judah laid down the rule that in a mixture of like kinds neutralization does not take effect only in that case where it is possible for one kind to become like the other, but where it is not possible for one kind to become like the other, there neutralization does take effect. And they differ in this point: R'Hisda holds that we must consider the neutralizer,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc. the substance which is in the majority in the mixture. If this substance can become like the substance which is in the minority, the mixture is deemed to be one of like kinds, and neutralization will not take place.');"><sup>4</sup></span>
