Sponsored & Guest Post Guidelines

What Our Blog Covers

The Cape Crystal Brands blog focuses on food science and functional ingredients, with a special emphasis on hydrocolloids and modern cooking applications. We only consider content that fits clearly within this niche.

• Hydrocolloids, gums, and stabilizers (xanthan gum, agar, carrageenan, pectin, etc.)
• Thickening, gelling, emulsifying, and stabilizing in food systems
• Food chemistry and formulation insights for home cooks, chefs, and R&D
• Modernist / contemporary cooking techniques that use functional ingredients

We do not publish general lifestyle content, unrelated product reviews, or articles whose primary purpose is link building.

Editorial Standards

• Original & exclusive: Articles must be original, not previously published, and not republished elsewhere.
• Science-based: Claims about ingredients, functionality, or health should be accurate and, where appropriate, supported by references.
• Non-promotional: The piece should educate our readers, not serve as an advertorial. Overt sales language will be removed or the post declined.
• Length & structure: Minimum 1,000 words, with clear headings, subheadings, and logical flow.
• Tone: Professional, clear, and accessible for an educated, curious reader interested in food science.

Cape Crystal Brands retains full editorial control and may edit for clarity, scientific accuracy, formatting, and style, or decline a submission at our discretion.

Link & Disclosure Policy

• We may include up to one (1) external link per article, at our discretion.
• Any commercial or brand website links will be tagged as rel="nofollow sponsored" to comply with search engine guidelines.
• No affiliate links, tracking links, or link schemes are allowed.
• All sponsored content will be clearly disclosed as such to our readers.
