In this paper we investigate two kinds of algebras of fuzzy sets, which are obtained by using Zadeh's extension principle. We give conditions under which a homomorphism between two algebras induces a homomorphism between corresponding algebras of fuzzy sets. We prove that if the structure of truth values is a complete residuated lattice, the induced algebra of a subalgebra of an algebra A can be embedded into the induced algebra of fuzzy sets of A. For direct products we give conditions under which the direct product of algebras of fuzzy sets could be embedded into the algebra of fuzzy sets of the direct product. In the case of homomorphisms and direct products, the two kinds of algebras of fuzzy sets behave in different ways.
