On bringing this enzyme into contact with linamarin the glucoside is converted into hydrogen cyanide.

Volatile compounds liberated from Prunus biomass include 2-propanol, hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, 1-hexanol, cis-3-hexenol, mandelonitrile, benzoic acid, benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, hydrocyanic acid and others.

It may contain hydrocyanic acid.

When cooked (necessary to reduce hydrocyanic acid), the young leaves and thick succulent stems make a tasty, nutritious, non-slimy vegetable.

Do all parts of a chaya plant contain hydrocyanic acid?

It avoids to use directly or indirectly hydrocyanic acid or salt thereof, which is highly toxic.
