My friend often freezes milk and it does often have an orange tinge. My only guess is that it may be to do with the rate of freezing, that dictates the way the fat in the milk freezes. If the milk freezes quite slowly, I assume that there are large lumps of fat which freeze long after the water content does and this fat gives an orangey tinge. When the milk defrosts, it recombines with the water and looks a normal white.
Pretty much like the fat on a joint of beef is yellowish, but the fat in the tray it's cooked in can be white. Maybe both types of this beef fat are also present in milk and the yellowy type freezes last.
Just a guess, please send my Nobel prize to P.O Box 7, East Cheam.
