AB Mandelonitrile is a nitrogen-containing compound, considered an essential secondary metabolite. Chemically, it isa cyanohydrin derivative of benzaldehyde, with relevant functions in different physiological processes includingdefense against phytophagous arthropods. So far, procedures for detecting mandelonitrile have been effectivelyapplied in cyanogenic plant species such as Prunus spp. Nevertheless, its presence in Arabidopsis thaliana,considered a non-cyanogenic species, has never been determined. Here, we report the development of an accurateprotocol for mandelonitrile quantification in A. thaliana within the context of A. thaliana–spider mite interaction.First, mandelonitrile was isolated from Arabidopsis rosettes using methanol; then, it was derivatized by silylationto enhance detection and, finally, it was quantified using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The selectivityand sensitivity of this method make it possible to detect low levels of mandelonitrile (LOD 3 ppm) in a plant speciesconsidered non-cyanogenic that, therefore, will have little to no cyanogenic compounds, using a small quantity ofstarting material (≥ 100 mg).
