This work explores the use of water‐in‐supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) microemulsions for the extraction of polar metabolites from plants. Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni leaves and polyethylene glycol trimethylnonyl ether (TMN) surfactants were selected for a case study. A CO 2 ‐water‐TMN 10 mixture at 35 °C and 30.0 MPa extracted 7 mg target analyte/g dry leaves. The extraction was proven to occur due to a water‐surfactant liquid solution rather than a water‐in‐CO 2 microemulsion. Using a modified extraction setup, the microemulsion was created prior to extraction. TMN 6 was able to dissolve enough water in CO 2 to extract steviol glycosides, in detectable but very small amounts.
