Scott Horn: "Capsaicin is a molecular compound, as opposed to an ionic compound. It does not dissociate in water, and therefore solutions of capsaicin do not have a pH that is easy to calculate. The pH of capsaicin in solution would depend primarily on the liquid the capsaicin was dissolved in."
No, paprika does not contain capsaicin. Capsaicin is the compound responsible for the spicy heat in chili peppers, while paprika is made from dried sweet peppers and does not have the same level of heat.
