Abstract We suggest that the fusion reaction 16O+14N may be a new way to produce 26Al in interstellar medium. Adopting different mixing modes, we investigate the impact on the production of 26Al in explosive oxygen burning and find that the result is extremely sensitive to mixing mechanisms. In some cases, we obtain an encouraging result, for example, the greatest final abundance of 26Al reaches 7.779×10-6, which means that the explosive oxygen burning may be a new origin of 26Al.
