    This document describes the reduction-oxidation process of capsaicin in three steps at increasing percentages. In the first step (50%), capsaicin (C18H27NO3) is reduced using methanol and water to form C16H29NO2 and methanol. In the second step (50%), capsaicin is further reduced to form C15H303/2O, nitrogen, and methanol. In the final step (100%), capsaicin is fully reduced to form C14H31-1NO and methanol. Balancing equations are provided for each reaction.
