We found a fact, when Kochuzang goes on ferment, that capsaicin in Kochuzang breaks down to other substances. And those substances are less hot than original capsaicin. The degradation of capsaicin depends on the concentration of table salt in Kochuzang. Nevertheless, these is rather no difference between a Kochuzang which contains no salt and the other one which contains sufficient salt when we assay them by Electrophotometry. We can explain this contradiction by making an assumption that the degradation might be happened at the acid radical part of capsaicin and not at Vanillyl radical.
