Um, though it has been a long time, I seem to recall making an acetone powder is simply a way to dehydrate and make a protein extract from something cellular. Probably for some sort of biochemical assay. I've worked with yeast before and it requires pretty severe measures to break the little blighters open. Acetone would be pretty severe.

i.e. "acetone powder" refers to a powdered extract made using acetone, not "powdered acetone"
