Denaturing, if I remember correctly from my Biology classes, is what
happens to a protein when it is broken down. I think it can happen
either by heating or by some other chemical process (like perhaps adding
some chemical will denature...break down...certain proteins), but I
would be suspicious that FREEZING would do this to the protein in
colostrum (and if it did, it would be the PROTEIN probably, not all the
colostrum...i.e. the fats would likely stay the same, as would the
minerals, etc.).
Maybe I'm wrong, if so, please correct me...but this is my understanding
of the term denature.
