This was discussed previously on 30 march 2001. Archive Subject:      lipase & soapy taste of breastmilk


There was one explanation regarding the self-defrost cycle in the freezer-refrigerator behind the soapy taste and I posted re:
an article  "The Look of Beast Milk" by Barbara Baumgardner edited by Ruth Lufkin, Leaven  (Nov-Dec-Jan 1995-96.) which reads:
"A soapy taste or consistency may result from the lipase enzyme in the milk breaking down the fat, particularly if the milk has been vigorously shaken to remix it after separation into layers upon standing in the refrigerator or freezer."
