[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A composition comprising an eatable having a burning taste sensation and at least one tastand in a substantially tasteless amount of about 0.0000001 to about 300% by weight, based on the weight of the eatable, which amount is sufficient to reduce said burning taste sensation, wherein said tastand is selected from the group consisting of amino acids and polyamino acids which are substantially tasteless in the amount used and wherein the nitrogen atoms are optionally substituted with one, two or three substituents selected from the group consisting of H, trifluoroacetyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, dialkyl, aralkyl, aryl, diaryl, acyl, cycloalkyl, benzoyl, alkyloxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, arylaminocarbonyl, amidines, alkylamidines, arylamidines, a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, a trisaccharide, an oligosaccharide, phosphorylated saccharides, arylacyl, alkylene, heterocyclic, and polycyclic; if the tastand comprises oxygen or sulfur atoms, these heteroatoms are optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of H, trifluoroacetyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, dialkyl, aralkyl, aryl, diaryl, acyl, cycloalkyl, benzoyl, alkyloxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, arylaminocarbonyl,.amidines, alkylamidines, arylamidines, a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, a trisaccharide, an oligosaccharide, phosphorylated saccharides, arylacyl, alkylene, heterocyclic, and polycyclic; and if the tastand comprises one or more aromatic group, such aromatic groups are optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of H, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, halogen, COOH, SO.sub.3 H, CH.sub.2 SO.sub.2 NH.sub.2, trifluoroacetyl, an acid group of the structure ZO.sub.q H.sub.r wherein Z is an element selected from the group consisting of carbon, sulfur, boron or phosphorus, q is an integer of 2 or 3 and r is an integer from 1 to 3; O, S, N, phosphorylated glycoside, wherein the glycoside is selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, disaccharides, trisaccharides, and oligosaccharides all of which saccharides may be substituted; and the following groups which may be substituted or unsubstituted: amino, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, alkylene, aminoacyl, aryloxy, aralkoxy, acyl, arylacyl, benzoyl, alkylamino, dialkylamino, trialkylamino, carbonates, alkylcarbonates, arylcarbonates, acylamino, guanidino, alkylguanidino, acylguanidino, arylguanidino, alkylurethanes, arylurethanes, ureas, alkylureas, CHO, COCH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 CHO, CH.sub.2 CHO.sub.3, CH.sub.2 COOH, COOCH.sub.3, OCOCH.sub.3, CONH.sub.2, NHCHO, SCH.sub.3, SCH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 SCH.sub.3, SO.sub.2 NH.sub.2, SO.sub.2 CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 SO.sub.3 H, cycloalkyl, heterocyclic, polycyclic, arylureas, carboxylic acid ester, carboxamide, N-alkyl carboxamide, di-alkyl carboxamides; wherein any two substituents taken together can be an aliphatic chain linked to a phenyl ring at one or more positions either directly via a carbon atom or indirectly via an oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur atom to form a ring structure, and physiologically acceptable salts thereof.
