Hi, I would very much appreciate your help with these:
Caramelization causes important changes in foods, not only in colour but also in flavour.
1) 'in foods'= adj phrase modifying in foods
2) not only in colour but also in flavour.= a second adjective phrase joined by correlative conjunctions, modifying changes?
3) Also, the bold words are correct, yes?

Alistair, a friend of mine, recently...
Thank you kindly.

The English double possessive is a very common way of showing possession. A friend of my father's = one of my father's friends. That is all you need to know about this.
