Zevachim 076: Causing Terumah to have Kedushah of Shevi'is

Dear Kollel,
In yesterday's daf, 76, the gemara discussed mixing sheviis produce with
trumah (oil). The gemara said you cannot do this because by doing so, you
are minimizing the eating time of the Trumah, because one is obligated to
do biur on the sheviis produce.
 
The question is, according to the opinion that biur of sheviis produce
means hefker and not burning (I think that is the accepted opinion -
afaik), one is not minimizing the eating time by mixing the two. after biur
it can be reclaimed and eaten? Why does the gemara assume you are
minimizing the eating time?
 
Thanks
Rafi

The Kollel replies:

Peros Shevi'is are given L'Achlah, and the Halachah is to eat them before
the Z'man Bi'ur. Once the Z'man Bi'ur comes, the owner of the fruits may no
longer eat them. Making them Hefker is only in order not to trangress the
Isur of having them in your possession at the time of the Z'man Bi'ur.

Although it is true that there is a way of avoiding the Isur (and not
limiting the eating time) -- i.e. by making the fruit Hefker --
nevertheless, since it is possible that the owner will *not* be Mafkir the
fruit and the Isur to eat the fruit will take full effect, it is prohibited
to cause Terumah to have Kedushas Shevi'is.
