agree  ivaa: Sentences in English are compact. In Spanish may be necesary to construct a more extended expression, for instance : "hasta dejar una mínima cantidad de residuo", o "hasta obtener un residuo mínimo". But I agree; begin with "hasta" for a Sp. compact form

Reference

Reference information:
"minute" has nothing to do with "time" here i.e. minutes in an hour.

"minute" is to do with quantity i.e. very, very tiny
