Marv Rudolph

I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry from Drexel University and

a Doctorate in Physical Chemistry from Drexel University. From 1971 to 1974, I was a

Research Food Scientist at Lehi The Farmer’s Dairy in Allentown, Pennsylvania. At Lehi, I

researched the recovery of cottage cheese whey by ultrafiltration (fractionation), reverse

osmosis, fermentation, and immobilized enzyme conversion systems. I further researched the

utilization of the cottage cheese whey into frozen and cultured dairy products. From 1974 to

1980, I was a Group Leader at General Foods Corporation in Tarrytown, New York. I was in

charge of product and process development efforts for products such as Pop Rocks® carbonated

candy and Increda-Bubble® carbonated bubble gum. From 1980 to 1985, I was Manager of

Product Development with Ragú Foods, Inc., in Shelton, Connecticut, where I developed and

managed timetables for multiple projects related to tomato sauces. From 1985 to 2002, I was

Director of Food Product Development with Arthur D. Little, Inc./TIAX, LLC, Cambridge,

Massachusetts. There, I led all food and beverage product and process development consulting

and provided direction and leadership to ensure realization of product development objectives for

external clients and internal key business plans. I successfully developed products, such as, Slim

Fast® dry-mix and ready-to-drink meal replacements; ice cream, mayonnaise, and butter-like

spread products containing Olestra® fat substitutes; and frozen yogurt products that can be

scooped with a plastic spoon directly from the consumer’s freezer. From 2005 to 2007, I was

Business Development Director of DuPont Safety Resources for E.I. DuPont de Nemours and

Company in Wilmington, Delaware. From 2007 to 2011, was Director of Food Science at

MooBella, Inc., Taunton, Massachusetts, a company that provides vending machines for fresh

ice cream. At MooBella, I formulated, sensory tested, scaled up and supervised the

manufacturing of ice cream mixes and flavors that supply MooBella ice cream vending

machines.

After leaving MooBella in October 2011, I founded my own consulting company,

Dr. M.J. Rudolph Consulting, LLC. My company specializes in providing advice on new food

products and process development to companies desiring to enter the marketplace with unique

food and beverage products. My company provides technology assessments for private and

public companies.

Thus, since 1971, I have had 50 years of product development experience

within the food and beverage industry, which includes developing products from the bench top to

pilot-plant scale-up and commercialization, product development, product formulation, product

manufacturing and product engineering.
